Hello and Welcome to Day 2 of our Blog Blitz! What’s a blog blitz? Well, we’ve set aside a few days on the blog to show you projects created with the new release and have a prize for you on each post. Let’s get started!
My card features the Hearts Aglow die. Here’s a close up for you.
Here’s where I started. I used some water-based markers and an aqua brush to create a rainbow background, shown here. Once I had lightly blended the colors, I cut out the hearts. {I’ll be using the negative space of the die in a future card, so stay tuned!}
I then cut used the same Hearts Aglow die on a card base {available in the Birch Press Design store!}. I then adhered some card stock to the inside of the card so that I had something to adhere the hearts to.
I decided that I wanted some of the hearts to stick out rather than just sit inside the die flat, so I used a few of the hearts from the card base and adhered those first, before adding the rainbow hearts.
And voila! I love that a few of the hearts are raised, just gives it that little extra bit of dimension.
I chose to not add a sentiment because I feel this card could be used for a few occasions. 🙂
So how would you like a chance to win the HEARTS AGLOW die?? Just leave a comment here and YOU could be the lucky winner! Here are the details of the blog blitz…

What a great idea to put the card stock behind a couple hearts to elevate them slightly
